Fire & Intruder Alarm Monitoring for All Property Types
We provide monitored fire and intruder alarm services across all property types, ensuring fast response, compliance, and continuous protection.
- Site monitoring: If an alarm activates while the property sits unoccupied, we immediately notify keyholders or emergency services on the site operator’s behalf.
- Commercial premises: Monitored systems for offices, retail, warehouses, and hospitality, supporting insurance requirements and providing a clear response audit trail.
- Fire alarm monitoring for compliance: Fully compliant monitoring under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, ensuring fire signals are acted on even when premises are empty.
- Intruder alarm with police response: When we install systems to BS EN 50131, they can support police response eligibility, and we manage URN registration as part of the service.
- Public sector and multi-site monitoring: Centralised monitoring for councils, schools, NHS, and housing associations with consistent reporting across all sites.
Fire & Intruder Alarm Monitoring: FAQs
How do monitored alarm systems work?
When an alarm triggers, the system sends the signal via a secure communication path (broadband or GSM) to our monitoring centre. Within seconds, our team receives it and then acts according to your agreed response plan.
Can my existing alarm system be connected?
In many cases, yes. If your system is compatible, we connect it to our monitoring centre. However, if it needs upgrades to meet current standards, we carry out the necessary work as part of setup.
How are response protocols and keyholders managed?
Before activation, we agree a response plan including keyholder contact order and when to alert emergency services. Details can be updated at any time via our customer portal.
Is monitoring recognised for insurance purposes?
Yes. Moreover, we provide full documentation confirming system standards, monitoring compliance, and communication methods, so you can easily meet insurer requirements.
